Newer houses, ageing consumer units
A house built in the 1970s, 80s or 90s can look thoroughly modern and still have a board that falls well short of today's standards. Typical examples have a single main switch with rewireable or cartridge fuses, or a split load unit where one RCD covers the sockets while the lighting circuits have no RCD protection at all.
Plastic consumer units fitted before 2016 are another thing we come across. Current rules call for a non-combustible enclosure, which in practice means metal, and every board we install meets that. Full RCBO protection begins at £625, and £495 buys a 10 way board with dual RCDs.

Getting the board ready for an EV charger
With the A24 on the doorstep, a car is part of daily life for many Ashington households, and more of those cars are now electric. A home charger draws a heavy load for hours at a time and needs its own circuit with suitable protection. A board with no spare ways, or one already struggling, is usually the first thing a charger installer flags.
We can fit a board with space set aside for a charger circuit, check the main fuse and meter tails, and tell you if the supply itself may need upgrading by UK Power Networks. That way the charger fitter connects to a board that is already prepared for it.
- Spare way kept for a charger
- Main fuse and meter tails checked
- Each circuit on its own RCBO

Ashington questions
Asked in Ashington
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Age alone is not the reason. A board from that era often lacks RCD protection on some circuits, sits in a plastic enclosure and has no surge protection. If you are adding an EV charger, a heat pump or a new kitchen, it may also have no spare ways. We look at your photos and tell you honestly whether replacement is worthwhile.
Yes. The board we fit is laid out to take a dedicated charger circuit, and you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate the charger installer can refer to. Tell us the charger's rating when you book and we will check that the main fuse, meter tails and earthing arrangement are suitable before they arrive.
Someone needs to let us in, and ideally be around at the end so we can talk you through the new board and the test results. In between, you are free to get on with your day. Most changes in a typical Ashington house take four to six hours, with the power off for much of that time.
